- "Tip&Cía" es un documental que intenta reflejar los aspectos más importantes de la personalidad y carrera profesional de Luis Sánchez Pollack. Siendo un personaje tan amplio e imposible de centrar, el programa quiere concentrarse en los aspectos más distintivamente Típicos, y a través de las personas que le conocieron y trabajaron con él intentar mostrar lo que es el misterio del humor de Tip. Para ello nos centraremos en los temas más importantes del humor de Tip (como son la improvisación, su visión del absurdo, sus diferentes parejas artísticas (Top y Coll), sus números más celebres (Mauricita la gamba, el vaso de agua, etc) y los aspectos más interesantes y desconocidos de la vida de Luis Sánchez Polack (sus inicios artísticos como pintor, la muerte de su hijo, su forma de ser). Todo ello aderezado por muchas de las legendarias anécdotas que jalonan la vida del gran humorista, un hombre que derrochaba su humor en su trabajo y en su vida privada porque era un río tan inagotable de talento que no tenía miedo de que se le acabara. Tip&Cía sirve como homenaje de un humorista genial, un creador tan increíblemente lúcido y sincero que lo daba todo cada vez, llegando a la cima de su profesión logrando lo más difícil: hacer que lo más complicado que hay (hacer reír con inteligencia) pareciera lo más fácil del mundo.
- El día 1 de noviembre de 1968, fueron encontrados, sin vida, los cuerpos de dos personas, un hombre y una mujer, en el apartamento número 13 de la calle Cuenca 78, de Valencia.

Ahora, transcurridos más de cuarenta años, se hace una investigación de los hechos a través de testigos y amigos de las víctimas para tratar de esclarecer el misterio que envolvió el caso de la muerte de la famosa vedette y de su joven amante, a la vez que se analizan los condicionamientos sociales de aquella época.
- On the occasion of the Second Edition of The Biennial of Valencia "La ciudad Ideal", we make a trip inside the SOLARES (or on Optimism). Lóránd Hegyi, the curator of the project, is the guiding thread of the documentary based on the latest tendencies of world contemporary art and on the various interviews released by the artists of the "SOLARES", such as Dennis Oppenheim, Richard Nonas, Marina Abramovic, Ilya Kabakov, Gloria Friedmann, Michelangelo Pistoletto, who tell about their particularly vision of the world and their peculiar approach to the reality. The video shows the concept of "Ideal city" and "chaos", seen by each one of these great artists. Valencia is an artistic laboratory where the essence of the modern urbanism and the globalization elements emerge from forgotten and dismissed corners of the city: Solares. Thanks to Lorand Hegyi expertise, audience has the chance to discover the creative profile of the town stressed by the artists words. The ancient streets of the city center are the ideal venues for the reflections of its inhabitants about the possibility to get closer to contemporary art, to interact with its creators. The concept of chaos and the idea of familiarity create a particular stressful situation for the spectator who realises the necessity of a coexistence of both aspects in a complex social system, often based on individualism. The SOLARES are empty and forgotten spaces which come back to life thanks to the art works with their colours. Art makes them become privileged spaces for imagination.
